Texas is increasing the number of National Guard troops and installing more razor wire fences. Earlier, the governor of Indiana sent his state's National Guard to help Texas secure its borders.
As Abbott said in response to the move, US governors are uniting to protect the borders while President Joe Biden does nothing. However, according to experts, without federal support and special legislation at the state level, these measures are insufficient. The White House is “rolling out the red carpet’ for illegal immigrants “instead of securing the borders,” says Nikita Danyanyan of the Institute for Strategic Studies.
